German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas to discuss armistice in Syria and refugee return in Turkey

“On Saturday I am going to Turkey:

– The truce must be maintained, the civilian population must receive protection;
– Turkey must abide by international law when dealing with refugees;
– It should support the political process, instead of torpedoing it”, – Maas wrote.
